Abstract：
Online case-based learning (CBL) is a pedagogical approach that employs the use of digital platforms and virtual environments to discuss clinical cases with undergraduate medical students. The purpose of the current review is to explore the scope and merits of online case-based learning, development of a plan for designing and implementing online CBL sessions in a medical college for undergraduate medical students. This happens to be an innovative approach as students get an opportunity to discuss and analyze clinical cases by practically applying their theoretical knowledge to clinical practice. Like any teaching-learning method, the effectiveness of online CBL sessions also depends on the efforts taken by educators in the planning stage. As these sessions will be conducted online, the most important consideration is to ensure that students have access to the required technology. As we all know, assessment drives learning, there is a definite need to supplement teaching-learning activities in online CBL sessions with suitable formative assessments. In conclusion, online CBL is an effective pedagogical approach to promote discussion on interesting clinical cases using flexible online platforms. Considering the merits of the method and the fact that technology has become an integral part of medical education delivery, every medical institute must explore its infrastructure to systematically introduce online CBL within the medical curriculum.
摘要：
在线案例学习（CBL）是一种教学方法，采用数字平台和虚拟环境的使用与本科医学生讨论临床病例。本综述的目的是探讨在线案例学习的范围和优点，制定在医学院为本科生设计和实施在线CBL课程的计划。这恰好是一种创新的方法，因为学生有机会通过将他们的理论知识实际应用于临床实践来讨论和分析临床病例。像任何教学方法一样，在线CBL会议的有效性还取决于教育工作者在计划阶段所做的努力。由于这些会议将在网上进行，最重要的考虑因素是确保学生能够获得所需的技术。我们都知道,评估驱动学习，确实有必要用适当的形成性评估来补充在线CBL课程中的教学活动。总之,在线CBL是一种有效的教学方法，可以使用灵活的在线平台促进有趣的临床病例的讨论。考虑到该方法的优点以及技术已成为医学教育提供不可或缺的一部分的事实，每个医疗机构都必须探索其基础设施，以便在医学课程中系统地引入在线CBL。
